Do we? I tried that for years. I got depressed. I lost my sense of fun. I wasn’t myself. One day I stopped trying to grow up and decided to be myself again and it was great. Which means doing stupid things but also being happy and carefree.

15p?!? What the fuck man, A half pint of beer at a pub costs like 1.50 at least. You must of known a really great cheap place to get drunk.

I don't bother going out to pubs much just because of how expensive it is. I can buy strong Polish beer at less than half the price that will fuck me up way more. Admittedly, if I don't go to my friends houses I get bored and post (even) dumber shit on here but still... Cheap and cheerful!

Edit: I grew down. I was more grown when I was a teenager and things actually looked bright for my future. Boy, how wrong I was.

I kinda think we do, Nony: the problem comes in thinking that always happens at the same time, and in the same form.

Dude, Students Union boozer. Special offer. £1.70 a pint with the cheap shot on top, bringing your round to &£1.85. That usually followed a few cans of the Czech lager as a warm up. Either way, leathered on £20 with enough left over for a kebab.

It's interesting what you say about growing up, as it's all I ever hear. I'm far beyond caring though. Alcohol is the least of my problems.

I'm like Eminem before he went all straight edge. I just don't give a fuck, and still don't give a fuck.

If I die from drugs/drink it's no real big deal to anyone. I don't want any kids and don't care about changing climate change or some other political bullshit. I just wanna have a good time while I'm still on earth.

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

As far as I can tell, it's basically nothing but what it means to have a good time changes.

If you're miserable a lot of the time, and you're drinking a lot, there's probably a connection. I still like a drink but I realised after a while that I could change the way I drank and enjoy it rather than having the negative mental effects that come with getting shit faced drunk on the regular.

The big realisation for me was the acknowledgement that what I thought was the relief, was actually a symptom, and it wasn't the thing itself but how I was using it.

The only thing I care about is getting as drunk as possible. I can't afford drugs regularly anymore since my friend stopped lending me, but if he would, I definitely still would do it as often as possible. I have absolutely nothing to care about in my life, and if something came along that I should supposedly care about I wouldn't.

Far beyond that man. All I care about is getting as fucked up as possible. If someone offered me Smack I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Yeah well, for me that'd defeat the whole purpose of drinking. I drink to have a good time and frankly there's a limit to how far drinking is compatible with a good time. It's become clear to me that beyond a certain point it'd convince you that it was good when it was a cause of a lot of my problems. Or at the very least it made them worse.

That's the result of my own experience. Still, I'm not out to convince anyone. If you're about that, then that's your business. But it ain't for me.

Man this has taken a turn. I thought drunk threads were supposed to be happy places....

Also, just thought of something. After I was sectioned in hospital under the mental health act in 2010 I went over six weeks without alcohol and could hardly even smoke cigarettes. I have never been so depressed in my life, and still was for months/possibly even years after getting out of there.

I'm been much more cheerful since I started drinking heavily again about 2/3 years ago.

No, it's not good for you, I know... but I'd rather not be miserable.

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

Well, I didn't say drunk. My exact words were "fuck you up". Which is clearly what it does to you.

If I mix that shit with cola I get stomach rot from all the sugar. The worst drink for that is disarrano though. That shit is impossible to get drunk off without severe gut rot.

Maybe I'm just some kind of sugar pussy though because I don't have it in coffee nor do I like chocolate much. I do like chewing gum occasionally and also energy drinks which have shed loads of sugar in them.

I don't normally drink soda with any kind of liquor. Either drink it neat (most whiskys and vodka) or on the rocks (scotch). If I do need something to go with it, it's almost always water. 'Cause you know... it's good to stay hydrated while getting drunk. Helps decrease the hangover the next day and what-not.

Now that Jameson will make a wild man outta you...have you ever been drinking it and looked in the mirror and saw Me Jameson more than yourself?

I don't think so? I don't tend to look in the mirror when I'm drunk, though, so...

Now then... Tullamore Dew (another Irish whisky)... it's my fav but I can't drink it very often. The stories I've been told the next day of me losing my clothes and supposed conversations I've had and all that jazz... even I can admit that's been a little embarrassing.
